pFAPC md SEAL FISHERIES.

A good precedent for the American claim
of exclusive jurisdiction in Bchring Sea il
furnished by Great Britain. The Gulf OF
Manar is great arm of the Indian Sea separ-
ating the southernmost portion OF India from
the island Of Ceylon. At the widest eXpansc
it is four hundred miles and at the narroweSt
Il is a broad strait connecting great bodies
of water. Since 1896 Great Britain has opcr-
ated system of pearl fisheries exclusively
for the benefit of its own subjects Many of
these fishing banks are forty miles from shore,
not one of them is Jess than six miles. The
boats engaged in the fisheries are subject to
the orders of the Government, and no other
craft are allowed TO compete with them
nglish officials for eighty years have directed
and controlled the fisheries, and vessels Of
other nations are not permitted to cruise or
trade over the fishing banks. From these
fisheries the British Government derives u
large annual revenue In like manner the
pearl fisheries of Australia are controlled by
the same Government Many Of the fishing
shoals are more than sixteen miles from shore
in tie high seas.
The pearl fisheries are thus conducted OUT
side the three-mie limit which international
law establishes as the bound of national juris-
diction Exclusive privileges are claimed and
exercised over portions of the high seas, and
vessels attempting to poach upon the British
preserves are liable to seizure and forfeiture.
This claim Of jurisdiction corresponds closely
to that of tho American Government In Beh-
ring Sea in connection with the seal fisheries
II tho distances are greater in the latter case
l. IL hn nr1A
Government having purchased the privileges
claimed by Russia in those waters exercises
exclusive control in the eastern half Of Behring
Sea and seizes both American and British
vessels which engage in the seal fisheries In
defiance Of law. The Gulf of Manar is not
a land-lockel sea. but broad gulf through
which rolls the full sweep Of the Indian Ocean
or Eastern Ocean. In international law it Is a
strait connecting the high seas and should BIO

Everybody knows that one of the unsolvcd
problems of modern civilization is how to get
rid of the tramp. 1t has long been perceived that
this was no easy task. but the full magnitude Of
it was not realized until the other day, when
there occurred at Akron, Ohio, n railway smashup
in which box car was hurled over the station,
crashing through the roof and demolishing the
entire structure. Snugly ensconced in the box
car was tramp of the able bodied species who
came out Of this wreck OF matter and crush OF
box comparatively unhurt. This particular
tramp may happen to be one Of those persons de-
scrbcd by the poet "who not born TO die"
Otherwise the chance OF the determination of this
pest of society Is seemingly greatly diminished
by the Akron incident.

have been fitted with the steam heating apparatus,
the change can hardly be completed before cold

Of boy who wanted to know where he couli
play ball in the city. The Mayor said that 1T
was a shame that no provision was made for
outdoor recreation for boys, and suggested that
something might be done in connection with the
new small parks. This plan seems hardly practi-
cable; but Mr. Hewitt has shown that in spite
of the cares Of state land city he has not fos-
gotten that he was once boy, and that he has
still lively sympathy with the spirits of
youth. If he is candidate for Mayor again
